Dior Earrings is fashion jewelry
Dior Earrings is another awesomely impressive designer that had no real formal training in the area of design and came into this profession later in his life. He majored in political science in college and briefly had a career in the French military after finishing school.
Bolstered by this success the House ofDior Earringsthen branched out into designing extravagant, gorgeous costume jewelry for such movie star icons as Betty Davis and Lucille Ball and that eternal symbol of haute couture fashion – the late Jacqueline Kennedy. In order to constantly create fresh jewelry looks to coordinate with his clothing designs the House of Dior hired many different jewelry artists such as Henry Schreiner and later, after Dior’s death at age 52 in 1957 – Yves Saint Laurent.
His design career started with an apprenticeship with the respected French designer, Robert Piguet. Dior Earrings eventually requested and received financing from wealthy businessman, Marcel Broussac that led to the formation of the House of Dior Earrings. The first design line presented to the fashion industry by the House of Dior was known as the ‘New Look Collection’ – an opulent collection of clothing whose clean design lines remained popular for the next 25 years.Many people equate rhinestones to paste artificial stones- they are not.
A true rhinestone is made from rock crystal – not paste or glass. While rock crystal is a very inexpensive gemstone, it is a gemstone none the less.The House of Dior Earrings was the first to use ‘aurora borealis’ rhinestones in their costume jewelry. The aurora borealis is a naturally occurring weather phenomenon and the rhinestones are treated to reflect those flashes of color. In a way the play of color and light is very similar to that found in opals.
